CommunityData:Blog post schedule

We have a blog! Our goal is to post on our blog every week.

Contributing to the blog

Anyone in the group can contribute to our blog. We generally blog for three reasons: (1) as a way to engage in public scholarship and to build our profile, (2) to put our (initial) ideas into the world, and (3) to celebrate our successes. Examples of blog posts include easy-to-read summaries of research papers, cool announcements; regular updates about lab activities, and reviews of papers or events.

Generally, contributing to the blog takes the following steps:

1. Write blog post in the word processor of your preference.

2. Put on your blog as a draft on the back-end of the blog (i.e., on the WordPress).
 Make sure your blog contains an image or photo (with alt-text), has a scheduled publication date of at least one week, and is automatically getting tweeted out directly.

3. Make an announcement in IRC that you have drafted a blog, asking others to proofread it.

If you do not know how to get to the back-end of the WordPress or you do not have a login to the WordPress, please ask a senior PhD student or a faculty advisor.
